Weight on wheels switch connected to nose gear?

Just noticed in the latest update that the switch detecting when the gear is on the ground seems to be hooked up to the nose gear instead of the main gear. One result is the inverted T symbol on the HUD, that is supposed to tell you how far it's safe to pitch up during takeoff and landing, disappears as soon as the nose wheel is off the ground during takeoff, and doesn't reappear until the nosewheel is back on the ground at landing. Making this feature not too useful. :)

Looks like the inverted T disappears when landing gear retraction is commanded

 

And it reappears at main wheels touchdown

 

Yep, that's it. Already transmitted but good catch :thumbup:

Real planes often have a switch in the main landing gear that detects when the plane's weight is on its wheels. It's used as a signal to a bunch of systems to indicate "are we on the ground, or are we in the air?"

 

I have no idea if RAZBAM has implemented it that way in the flight model, but it seemed the easiest way to describe what the bug looks like.

 

Sorry for any confusion!
